hurry up please, it's TIME - big chill house

i thought i posted this earlier - but it doesn't seem to be here anymore...

come along to the big chill house this wednesday at 7pm - kind of our regular vj meet time (except alternative week) - i've just finished installing an interactive projection there. it's a collaboration between me and alex haw and involves audience reactive generative visuals on the bar surface. the work is on show all this week at the bch and next week at the roxy bar and screen. more info here

atmos & dr.mo invite you to the opening of a new interactive motion- tracking installation, opening as 2 different incranations, in 2 separate London venues as part of the Node.London Spring ‘08 season. ‘Hurry Up Please : IT’S TIME’ offers an expansion on the drinker’s eternal concern for questions of time (that pressing pint; the tyranny of Last Orders). A camera above the bar scans it for activity. Computer vision compares pixels adjacent in time and calculates the geography of activity. A co-located overhead projection then remaps the scene with abstracted, responsive imagery, conjuring a composite temporal image. Active drinkers are rewarded with faster imagery, updating in real-time, whilst inactive parts of the bar and screen slumber in archival mode, dormant until activity is intense enough to accelerate playback into real-time. Boozers, bingers and barflys collaborate to produce a 4-dimensional document of space and time.

Opening party: The Big Chill House, 7pm, Weds 16th April 08.
Come track & drink with us.

for those who are attending, remember that's Big Chill House on King's Cross it's not the Big Chill Bar on Brick Lane where we used to have our meetups

thanks for pointing that out - and sorry if it wasn't clear. unfortunately it looks like we already had one casualty of this yesterday

think i'm going to go and check this out this evening if anyone is going to be about.

looks exciting :)

since the installation is moving to the roxy bar and screen next week i was planning to hold next weeks vj meeting there too - so that could be a chance for you to see if as well
